KENAPA ANDA TIDAK DIBENARKAN UNTUK SELF-DIAGNOSE DEPRESSION & OTHER MENTAL ILLNESS?

today, i nak cerita kenapa self-diagnose bahaya kepada DIRI ANDA SENDIRI dan orang lain.

friends, please RT to educate people!

first of all, i bukan kerja under medication field or whatsoever. i raise this issue because im a patient myself who have been under treatment for nearly 4years. if any of my point is wrong and you’re working under psychiatry field please do correct me!

ok so for those yang first time dengar what is ‘self-diagnose’? self diagnose ialah apabila seseorang itu mengatakan dia ada mental illness itu sedangkan psychiatry/psychologist tak pernah pun cakap diri dia tu ada penyakit tu

apa yang i tahu, only psychiatrist dan psychologist sahaja boleh diagnose seseorang itu ada mental illness (mi) atau tak. kalau doktor lain, counselor uni ke counselor sekolah ke apa apa role yang bukan CERTIFIED psychiatrist atau psychologist, tak boleh diagnose seseorang itu mi

so kalau anda pernah rujuk counselor ke or any ppl yang bukan dua diatas, mungkin dorang ada kata “saya rasa awak ada depression lah”, ia TIDAK DIKIRA diagnosis. kebanyakan counselor, therapist etc hanya SCREENING sahaja

mental health screening ni semua orang boleh buat. counselor ke cikgu ke apa ke. tapi orang yang boleh diagnose hanyalah psychiatrist dan psychology, dimana anda boleh jumpa di hospital atau klinik psychiatry

selalunya psychiatry yang akan diagnose. psychologist kerja dia more to treatment sebab dia tak boleh prescibe medication. psychiatrist je boleh prescribe. kau buat emosi online test and dapat ‘severe depression’? no still tak buatkan anda didiagnose depression

so kalau anda hanya jumpa counselor je, or anyone yang bukan psychiatry, itu BUKAN DIAGNOSE, dan selagi anda tidak berjumpa psychiatry dan mendapatkan rawatan yang betul, anda TIDAK DIDIAGNOSE dan anda TIDAK BOLEH cakap ‘i ada depression, ocd’ atau sebagainya

APA JADI KALAU ANDA SELF-DIAGNOSE?
anda akan membahayakan diri anda sendiri kerana bila anda cakap diri anda ada__, your brain will think and treat yourself yang u ada benda tu..and what if sebenarnya u takde benda tu?!! this means your brain create danger yang asalnya takde pun

or maybe, sebenarnya u ada personality disorder, tapi u ingatkan u ada bipolar. padahal those two are different! also did you know, THYROID DISEASE has some symptoms common with certain mental health condition!!

when u refer to pakar (psy), they will ask u to ambik darah to check if u ada thyroid disease ke tak because maybe u dont have mental illness but thyroid disease!

bila u jumpa psychiatry, dorang akan lay out semua possibility. korek sampai dalam your background, emotions, etc supaya dorang dapat tau apa sebenarnya going on with your brain. other ppl takde that deep knowledge on mental being as much as psychiatry. sebabtu psychiatry je -

boleh diagnose. bukan sahaja u buat diri u lebih mudarat, tapi juga orang sekeliling anda kerana mereka tak boleh memahami anda. if u jumpa psychiatry, dapat treatment dan medication sebetulnya, people around you tahu what is going on & dapat respect u, faham u dengan lebih baik

kalau u diagnose diri sendiri, canang kat people around u cakap u ‘kena diagnose bla bla’ tapi u tak jumpa pakar, tak ada prescription untuk u menjalani hidup yang tenteram and ppl around u pun confuse with u, at some point people might lose their trust on u

these are the main reasons kenapa jangan self-diagnose, selain sebab yang lain dimana ada some ppl said self-diagnose ibarat anda memperlekehkan kerja psychiatrist dan seolah olah anda misuse word itu because what about patients yang betul2 didiagnose??

lastly, please know how important it is to reach out for help dekat saluran yang betul! i read ramai kasi alasan takde transport family tak kasi etc, but please at this point jangan kisah pasal orang lain, cari jalan ambik grab ke or ask your friend to teman because -

- YOU YOURSELF need to be saved first!! and to save yourself, self-diagnosing is not the way

take a moment to think about you and only you. tolak tepi soal family tak terima atau kawan tak tolong or any other problem. because now, you need to FIX YOU. JUST. YOU

harini nak sambung tentang- APA ORANG AKAN FIKIR TENTANG ANDA ANDA YANG SELF-DIAGNOSE?

banyak. kebanyakannya negative views. sebab anda claim anda sakit tapi anda tiada proofs

kesian orang orang yang betul didiagnose tengok awak senang senang je cakap awak ada depression etc-

walaupun u betul sakit tapi u tak jumpa psy tapi eh dah bagitau orang u ada mi. still tak boleh!

entah entah u ada thyroid disease tapi bayangkan selamani u canang ada depression. by the time u tau sebenarnya u ada thyroid disease, dah terlambat nak cure

sebabtu self diagnose ni sangat sangat bahaya! kang doctor marah apasal tak refer pakar awal awal boleh kesan thyroid disease tu awal awal

itu dari segi medical team, apa pula kata orang yang betul didiagnose mental illness nampak awak senang senang kata awak ada mental illness?

imagine orang yang betul betul didiagnose kena queue seharian kat hospital untuk jumpa psychiatrist, kena hadap side effects kadang medication tak sesuai dengan badan muntah muntah, berak berak, excessive sweating, ruam. yang swasta pulak bayar ratus ratus

tapi tiber orang yang tak jumpa pakar pun kata dia depressed, ada ocd

letak kat bio ‘18 and depressed’
‘am organised person. ocd’

sesuka hati je claim dia sakit sedangkan orang yang betul betul sakit kena go through suffer macam macam JUST UNTUK SIHAT

ocd bukannya just sebab u suka bilik bersih, teratur. masa i severe dulu i lambat pergi class sebab i sanggup turun naik tangga hostel tingkat 4 berkali kali sebab diri i tak berhenti suruh check switch sterika

please watch this video to get an insight

please jangan OVERGENERALIZING mental illness.

stress je depression
nervous je anxiety disorder
nak bersih je ocd
terover happy je bipolar

it’s not as simple as that. it’s serious and complicated, to the point dia kacau daily routine dan hanya psychiatrist je boleh confirmkan

did you know? orang orang yang self-diagnose ni, dorang boleh develop munchausen syndrome

Munchausen syndrome is a mental disorder in which a person repeatedly & deliberately acts as if he/she has illness when he/she is not really sick

mental illness is broad and we cannot rely to just ourselves. kita bukannya zaman dulu dulu takde penawar. to recover from mental illness, medication + psychotherapy tu penting.

for my muslim friends, even dalam Islam kita kena berusaha untuk mencari penawar

ya i tau susah untuk reach out lagi lagi our close ones stigmatize mental illness, cakap kita tak kuat iman tak baca quran, and nak u hanya bertabah je tanpa jumpa pakar

i pray u guys jumpa kekuatan to reach psychiatry. it will be a long journey but it will worth it

just wanna share with yall that i talk about exotic pets care to escape from stress. after so long under darkness, i finally find my way of coping

i hope u guys will find your passion and live life doing something u truly love
